Time is Money so Why Waste it?: Roof Measurement Technology Ensures That You Don’t

In today’s world, businesses are not only constantly trying to find ways to be one step ahead the competition, but also one step ahead of themselves. Just enough is no longer good enough when it comes to getting ahead of the game, and staying there. But to be ahead of the pack requires more than just luck. Rather, emphasis on things like due diligence, and a keen eye for being on the lookout for things that can improve efficiencies, and continue to keep business moving forward are of paramount importance. Aerial roof measurement is one of those things. In a world of “latest and greatest,” there are few things that come around that have a lasting impact. The concept of aerial roof measurement has not only revolutionized the way that contractors view their time spent, but also gives them the confidence they need to expedite critical projects without even having to set foot on the construction site . A project could be one roof, or multiple roofs; either way, these measurement reports have you covered. Gone are the days of scaling damaged roofs for accurate measurements. Today, these groundbreaking roof measurement systems precisely determine the dimensions of a roof, and a combination of advanced aerial imaging technology and algorithms calculate:

Rather than spending hours visiting a property and measuring the roof by hand, aerial measurement reports allow roofing contractors to go directly to the site or to the supplier with the requirements already in hand. We all know how severe weather can slow down a construction project. SkyMeasure™ roof reports by CoreLogic® can even tell you if hail greater than ¾ inches impacted that particular address within the past 24 months so a Hail Verification Report can be purchased on demand for that exact address.

The takeoff process can be a tedious one. Precise measurements must be taken to ensure the success of the project. Think of it as the first domino that has the potential of sending everything crashing down if something is executed incorrectly, or even the smallest mistake is made. So rather than spending tedious hours with a pencil and a ruler pouring over cumbersome blueprints, you are now able to get roof measurement reports directly from copies of the blueprints themselves. This takes aerial roof measurement that step further to ensure that all of the angles are covered. Creating a comprehensive estimate, and ordering materials for an upcoming project couldn’t be easier. All you need to do is upload a copy of the blueprints and SkyMeasure will take it from there. The likelihood of making a costly mistake is greatly diminished.
